When a man knows what the law is :;
is perfectly familiar with the penalties
prescribed, and is warned that he will
get himself into trouble, and then goes
ahead and violates the law 20S times,
as the Wichita chump, Stewart did,
and says he did, we do not see that he
is particularly an object of sympathy
Newton Republican.
For thus persistently violating law
he was sentenced to Imprisonment for
fourteen years and to pay a fine of 90
10000. In the year 1888, G.. w. Nc
Kinney, of Butler county, 4" knowing
the law" followed a neighbor for three
miles to kill him he was found guilty
of murder in the first degree and SEN
fenced to be hanged; there were no
mitigating circumstances connected
with the case, yet a few weeks ago he
received full pardon and now walks
the earth with freedom and security
from mo1estatiOn. There is something
radically wrong with the Kansas sys-
tenn of punishment for violation of
laWS.-Kansan.
Yes, there is something radically
wrong, and the something wrong is in
not having a death penalty law that
can be enforced against murderers.

strong city Items.

Quite an interesting meeting was
held at Strong City on the 10Th to wish
our friend and brother, T. D. Richards
goodbye on his departure for the old
country. Mr.. Richards was one of the
foremen in the quarry of l.. w. Lewis
and the quarrymen thought it would be
a good opportunity to show their re-
spect towards him. The meeting was
called to order by D. W. Roberts, songs
and speeches were given by a number
of gentlemen, which were duly appre-
ciated by the audience. at the close
of the meeting a very handsome pic
ture was presented by Mrs. E. D. Jones
on behalf of the workmen to Mr.. Rich
ards of himself. The picture was 33x27
and handsomely framed. Mrs. G.. 81.
Roberts, also on behalf of the work
men, presented Mrs. Richards a splen-

THE DEATH PENALTY.

The state of Iowa has a death PEN
atty law somewhat similar, at first
glance, to that of the state of Kansas,
but essentially different in it's work
ings from that of the poor apology for
law which is used in this state for the
purpose of allowing Ted-handed MUIR
derers to thrive and carry on their
crimes without the shadow of doubt
of their entire immunity from any ade-
quate punishment of their crimes. In
deed, in many cases, to commit murder
only leads to life of luxury and leis-
urly enjoyment for the perpetrator, as
compared with his life previous to COM
hitting the crime. For instance, take
the case of the tramps who slaughter
who. after sentence to the penitentiary
with the usual imperative proviso
about being changed after one years
imprisonment-laughingly remarked
that they didn't care. as they would
now be able to get plenty to eat and
sleep in.
But, to refer back to the law of Iowa,
which might with great good to our
state be taken as copy after which
to remodel our own: In it there is a
little proviso added to the clause re-
handing the criminal to the peniten-
tiary for one year, which reads he
must remain one year and not more than
fifteen months before he is hanged" In
other words, in less than three months
after the one year is out, he must be
hanged. Even the governor, without
the advice and consent of the legisla-
ture, cannot pardon condemned muir
derer.
Such law as the Iowa law would
embody all that can be claimed for the
farcical one now on the statute books
of Kansas, so far as giving time for re-
pentence or chance for development
of further evidence is concerned, and
at the same time would be terror in
the eyes of wOuld-be assassins who
look so carelessly upon the lives OF
others but value their own so highly.
Had we a law of this kind it is moi
probable that murderers wonld be sc
apt as they are now to lure their VIC
Tins from border states to take theil
lives in Kansas.

KANSAS sent to st. Louis the young
est veteran on the rolls of the Grand
Army, James Sullivan of Lincoln post,
Topeka, who is not yet 36 years of age.
State Journal.
If the above is true he was less than
10 years old when the war began in
1861, and less than IA when it ended in
1865. This beats Bent Murdock's rec
ord. But, then, we doubt if it is cor
rect. Emporia has a member only 40
years of age, and when he saw service
he was so little that when he hung his
clothes on his Springfield rifle it might
have been taken for the soldier had it
not been too tall. Thirty-six is draw
ing the line little too close. Only a
perusal of his discharge papers and the
family Bible would convince US, and
then we wouldn't believe it.

TAInk About H.
Fred. Haussler has presented to the
county commissioners bill for so. 600
damages alleged to have been sustained
by him by being confined in the county
jail, the said building having been con-
demned by the grand jury of the county
and also by the state and local boards
of health as being in an unfit condition
in which to keep a prisoner. Mr..
Hauss1er was imprisoned for violation
OF the prohibition law, and the bill sent
to the county commissioners viii prob
ably receive no attention whatever by
them.
SUIT ENTERED.
The bill referred to above was fled
withClerk Lakin yesterday, and to-day
another notification was served on the
commissioners to the effect that suit
had been entered against them in the
district court and that the case would
be heard November Cole & Balance
are attorneys for the plaintiff, as sign
ed to the docket but who they are we
were unable to ascertain.
Thinking that a few legal opinions
on the subject might be of interest to
our readers, NEWS representative
took the trouble to interview several of
our legal luminaries, with the follow
ing results:
JUDGE BUCK,
On being interviewed by a NEWS
scribe as regards Hausslesr's chances
for recovering damages, laughingly
stated that his chances were extremely
slim, and on being asked if he could be
quoted as saying that he thought MIR.
Haussler had no chance whatever, said:
Eyes, if you think it will be worth
while"
JUDGE PEYTON
Said there was some doubt as to the
law; that the case of O. Pfefferle,
somewhat similar to this of Haussler,
had been made as strong as it could
possibly be and that Judge Graves had
decided against the plaintiff, affirming
that the comfy was not liable for dam
ages. The case was appealed and now
awaits a decision be the supreme court.
Should their decision indorse Judge
Graves, Haussler would have nc
grounds whatever to go on.
JUDGE EVANS
Thought Haussler had no show what
ever to recover damages.
WA RANDOLPH.
On being Intercepted, Mr.. Randolph
expressed the opinion that Mr.. Hauss
Ter had not even SO good case as Mr.
Pfefferle had, as he was even heartiel

ceration than before. NO." said Will

THERE is much difference in adver-
tising in or patronizing a newspaper
because of political preferences or
through friendship, and patronizing or
advertising in newspaper as a matter
of business and because it is a nesos-
paper and has the circulation which in
sures the advertiser getting his moneys
worth. In the first case it is a mere
matter of sentiment or selfishness, and
the business man who advertises in or
takes paper as matter of charity is
usually the first one to rush up and or
der his paper stopped If there is an
item or opinion not in accordance with
his ideas, while the merchant who adj
vertises for business purposes does not
care snap for the editor so long as the
paper has the circulation.
